After binding the longevity lottery system, my lottery will become stronger.

Tibet.

On top of the city wall.

Li Hanshan held a piece of paper in his hand and said calmly, "Pass the order down. Use Tubo as a base and head directly north to the land of Northern Qi."

Tubo has been conquered, and the next step is Northern Qi.

It would be easy to capture Northern Qi with Tubo, Northern Yan and the Three Kingdoms sandwiched around it. It would take at most half a month for Northern Qi to fall completely.

If the Northern Qi royal family were smart, they would definitely surrender voluntarily, and even earlier.

However, even if the royal family surrenders, some people in power within the dynasty will still act up and try to seize a piece of the pie. This needs to be resolved thoroughly, which will take a bit of time.

"As ordered."

Xiao Leihen bowed respectfully at the side, and then the army left the city. This time, the army included the Great Zhou cavalry, the Zhenxi Army, and the Tibetan army.

Now that the Tubo army has surrendered, we should make use of it.

The three armies, with a total of one million men, marched northward in a mighty force. Their momentum was very terrifying, and people felt enormous pressure. Now that Cangwu and Dayong had surrendered, there was no need to worry about these two parties causing trouble in the south.

------

Northern Yan.

In the far west, there is a city only fifty miles away from Northern Qi.

Ye Xuan successfully took control of the Northern Yan army. He rode on a warhorse with an army of 500,000 behind him.

After years of planning, it finally comes in handy, so it’s not a waste of time.

Ye Xuan said in a deep voice: "All soldiers, obey my orders!"

boom!

The five hundred thousand strong army stood upright with extremely serious expressions. The spears in their hands emitted a faint light. Beiyan was defeated by Li Hanshan. If Li Hanshan had not taken action, they might not have been defeated.

Ye Xuan looked at everyone and said loudly: "Tubosa has been conquered by the Great Zhou, Cangwu in the south and Wei have surrendered to the Great Zhou, and Northern Qi is also inseparable from the Great Zhou. Now, of the nine dynasties, only Northern Qi, Dayong, and Eastern Chu are left. It won't be long before the three major dynasties will completely belong to the Great Zhou, and then the Great Zhou will unify the nine provinces!"

He said in a serious tone: "It is understandable that everyone has a sense of family and country, but now Beiyan has already belonged to the Great Zhou, so everyone should not think too much. This is an irreversible trend, and the unification of the Nine Provinces is imperative."

"But everyone present here still has room for further progress. Next, I will lead you to Northern Qi. If this matter is handled well, when the war is over, everyone will be promoted and can still live well on the land of Northern Yan, and your families can seek a better future."

I have to say, Ye Xuan's words sound like he's in a pyramid scheme!

Upon hearing this, the soldiers said solemnly, "We obey your orders."

It is said that heroes emerge in troubled times, and a general will eventually become a hero for eternity. Only on the battlefield can a general emerge, which makes people yearn for it. However, only those who have actually been to the battlefield understand the cruelty of war, and only then will they yearn for peace and are unwilling to continue fighting.

If the Great Zhou could really unify the nine provinces, then war could indeed be avoided. Thinking of this, everyone temporarily suppressed their inner feelings for their country and family.

Being born on the land of Northern Yan means that they will have their own feelings for their country and family, which are difficult to give up. However, given the current situation, the so-called feelings for their country and family must indeed be let go.

If they follow the footsteps of the Great Zhou and go to fight, the Great Zhou will not touch them and will not continue to attack Bei Yan.

Otherwise, if they became the new round of rebels and Northern Yan was in chaos, it would be the people of Northern Yan who would suffer.

"Very good! In that case, follow my footsteps and we will march into Northern Qi."

Ye Xuan tightly gripped the bronze sword, his expression extremely serious, and he rode his horse at full speed, rushing directly to the front. As a general, he had to walk in front, so that all the soldiers could be completely convinced.

Boom!

The army began to advance forward with great momentum and overwhelming pressure. Wherever they passed, the ice and snow melted and no grass or trees grew.

------

Half a day later.

The Royal Palace of Northern Qi.

The King of Qi was holding a memorial in his hand, his brows furrowed and his expression extremely solemn. The armies of Great Zhou, Northern Yan and Tubo were approaching and would soon set foot on the territory of Northern Qi.

Judging from previous wars, the Great Zhou army was extremely terrifying, and this time Northern Qi was simply unable to stop it.

If they resist by force, many people will surely die. Then they might end up like the Tubo people, being slaughtered all the way until the army finally enters the royal city.

Hua Jieyu came over and bowed to the King of Qi: "Father, surrender!"

"drop?"

King Qi's face darkened and he immediately stared at Hua Jieyu.

Hua Jieyu sighed and said, "All the major sects have been subordinated to the Great Zhou, not to mention the greater dynasties. The unification of the Nine Provinces is inevitable. Given the current situation, our Northern Qi cannot stop it. If we want to go against the trend, we will probably be wiped out."

resistance?

It is undoubtedly like hitting a rock with an egg, which will lead to self-destruction.

Given the current situation, this is a meaningless thing. This trend is irreversible. If it is forced through, the final outcome will naturally be countless casualties.

If you want to protect Northern Qi, there is only one way: surrender.

After surrendering, the fate of their royal family depends on what the Great Zhou does, but it is certain that the people of Northern Qi will be safe and sound. This is the significance of surrender.

If we surrender, the people will suffer, so we cannot surrender. We must fight to the death, even if it means we are fighting against a rock with an egg.

However, judging from the style of the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou took over Northern Yan but did not harm the people of Northern Yan at all. This can explain some problems. The Great Zhou would not massacre the people.

After hearing this, the King of Qi had a complicated expression and remained silent for a long time.

After a while.

He looked at Hua Jieyu and said, "If Northern Qi surrenders, then from now on, there will be no Northern Qi royal family, and no Northern Qi princess like you. Can you tolerate this outcome?"

Hua Jieyu said: "Northern Qi is not the private property of the royal family. It belongs to the people of Northern Qi. If the royal family is gone, it will not affect the people. But if the people are gone, the royal family will definitely be reduced to ashes, and Northern Qi will no longer exist."

Upon hearing this, the King of Qi instantly aged by a dozen years. He sighed softly and said, "Forget it! Immediately send an order to all the civil and military officials to come here to see me. I will discuss this matter with them."

He naturally understood some principles, but he was unwilling to give up everything he had.

But the only outcome of being unwilling to accept this is death. According to the speed of the armies from all sides, it won't take long for them to break in here, and by then, everything he has will vanish into thin air.

"I will go and pass on the order right away..."

Hua Jieyu bowed and turned to leave.

The pace of the Great Zhou is unstoppable. This may be the only chance for the Northern Qi royal family to survive.

Otherwise, when the Great Zhou attacks, it might first deal with the rebellious royal family just like it did with Tubo.

If that really happens, the Northern Qi royal family will be doomed...
